Olesta 20mg Tablet - Olmesartan Medoxomil ARB for Hypertension

Olesta 20mg Tablet by IBL Operation (Searle) contains Olmesartan Medoxomil 20mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). This is a prescription required medicine used for the long-term treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Olmesartan blocks angiotensin II receptors, relaxing blood vessels so blood flows more easily and the heart works less hard. It can be used as monotherapy or combined with other antihypertensives for tighter blood pressure control.

Key Benefits

• Effective 24 hour blood pressure control with once daily dosing
• Reduces cardiovascular risk including stroke and heart attack
• Protects kidneys, especially in diabetic patients
• Suitable as first-line monotherapy or in combination
• Well-tolerated with low rate of cough compared to ACE inhibitors

How to Use

Take Olesta 20mg Tablet once daily, with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Swallow whole with water. Monitor blood pressure regularly as advised. Do not stop Olesta suddenly, even if your blood pressure normalizes - stopping abruptly can cause rebound hypertension and increase cardiovascular risk. Any change must be supervised by your doctor.

Safety Information

Report dizziness, low blood pressure, swelling, persistent diarrhea (sprue-like enteropathy is rare but reported with olmesartan), or signs of hyperkalemia. Avoid use in pregnancy - ARBs can cause fetal harm. Caution with NSAIDs, potassium-sparing diuretics, and lithium. Browse our blood pressure medicines collection or see the Searle Pakistan range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stop Olesta when my blood pressure is normal? No. Hypertension is a chronic condition - stopping the tablet usually causes pressure to rise again. Continue and review with your doctor.

Is Olesta safe in pregnancy? No. ARBs including olmesartan can harm the fetus. Stop and switch under your doctor's care if you plan pregnancy or become pregnant.

Why is olmesartan preferred over ACE inhibitors for some patients? ARBs are less likely to cause cough and angioedema, which makes them preferred for patients intolerant of ACE inhibitors.

What should I do if I miss a dose? Take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double dose.
